"Promise, Ell. I will never leave you. " sabi ng binata sa kanyang kaibigan, ngunit hindi naniniwala ang dalaga.

"When something happened, promise me that even in our next life you'll still remember me. " she said while sobbing. "I don't know what to do if I lose you, Bravis. "

She hugged him, she knows what is happening to his friend, alam niya ang sekreto nitong pilit tinatago sa kanya.

Remembering those scenery make my heart aches. He promised that he will never leave me but knowing and seeing his name in one of the gravestone in this cemetery. I remember what he said before he leave.

"I love you. "

She was stunned by his sudden confession. She doesn't know that it was the last day of her friend.

"S-say something, " halata sa boses nito ang kaba.

"I-i love you too, Bravis. " she whispered but he still hears it.

He smile. "More than friend, Riella." He weakly said. "I-i know.. It's too late because... I-i.. C-can't-"

She panicked.. She called the doctor, she cried, she prayed.

When the doctor came out from his room and say the word that she don't want to hear made her world crashed.

"Im sorry but the patient can't make it anymore. "




"Kung nandito ka lang, makikita mo pa akong maging successful.. " I tried to stop my tears but I can't. "I'm know a successful doctor, Bravis, even though you're know in the star.. I'm still holding on to what you said."

"I-if I die, Ell. Wag kang magmukmok nalang palagi ha." Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ng kaibigan. "Knowing you, kapag may nangyayaring hindi maganda, nagtatago ka palagi.. Mumultuhin talaga kita pagginawa mo yon. " naging seryoso ang mukha ng kaibigan habang sya ay umiiyak. "Kapag w-wala na ako, ipagpatuloy mo lang ang pangarap mo, kung nami-miss mo ako, tumingin ka lang sa mga bituin, nandito lang din ako palagi. " sabay turo nito sa dibdib niya.

"It hurts so hard, for a million different reason. " napakanta nalang ako ng wala sa oras.
